Sorry about the poor quality my digi camera shit itself so i havd to take em of my digi vid cam but ya get the idea now.... man i need to find a straight rear bumper it totally takes away some of the beauty of how cool the rear lights look i think. gotta track one down but i dont wana pay a fortune i swear some places think chrome is actually gold.

Take it somewhere and get it straightened if you can't find one.

Looks sweet. This model is very prone to rusting - sills particularly.

Yes it has some little rust issues nothing dramatic i cant fix myself before i get one of my boys to paint it, the worst of the rust is where the water runs down the back window into where the boot closes up where it meets the seal. I gave it a bit of a scrape to see how bad it was and its eatin in a fair bit in 2 spots about the size of a 5cent piece along with alot of surface rust that looks like its getting hungry. funny i dont know if its just i never noticed but i dont think ive ever seen one of these crowns before?? maybe now its bought to my attention ill notice them everywhere... usually the way.

Ey sean, yeah im going down to the upullit (north) tommorrow for a gander to see whats layin around.... Hey any suggestions on getting stuff chromed up again? all my badges are lookin ratty, i havnt sused em out but they would most likely be plastic? I heard getting bumpers redone was pretty $$$ ??

Idustrial Springs on Port Road=custom springs.

They'll do 4 new springs at your requested specs for about $500 and re-adjust them as required. Pedders have springs for the MS-65 which will fit straight in but are only an inch or so lower than stock. Custom ones will cost no different but will be exactly what you want. (measure all the stuff Dave said to then give Industrial Springs a buzz)

As Dave said-if it's a sedan it's coils all round. Monroe do GT Gas shocks for the front and Red Ryder for the rear.

It's got the same stud pattern as a ford/nissan/chrysler.

First stop on your journey should be to have the radiator cleaned out ($120 or so) as it is important to keep the cooling system in top shape with these cars.

I know a fair bit about the MS-65 and 85 so feel free to PM me anytime.

It'll be an excellent cruiser dude.

I expect pictures.

Hey Sean, do you know if any of the crown station wagons had IRS?
